If I write a long treatise about shooting the fools of the world as a great cleansing to restore intelligence, then that carries much more weight and significance than a smiley face and a pistol, but teenagers or other incapacitated idiots using it in casual conversation increase the incidence of violent responses.
The problem with immersing nearly any computer components in deionized water is that while the water no longer conducts electricity when deionized, it still causes galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different elements or alloys of metal are immersed in a common electrolyte over a period of time. If any solder flux, an alloy usually of tin and lead, for example, were to be immersed in the same electrolyte as any other metal on the circuit board, galvanic corrosion is certain. Note that even the purest water, at least for all practical purposes, still contains some residual electrolytes.

Saying 5 digits leaves it within the first year or so of slashdot existing, back when accounts were thrown away like rubbish. Things change.
